Design Concept
The design of the book starts with the actual cover of the hardbound book. A collage is created that relates to the specific elements of the individual book. For example in the book Venus in Firs has a unique trait of dominance and sadomasochism. The collage would use images drawn from this lifestyle as where in the novel A Spy in the House of Love uses a theme of seductive clothing.
Over the top of each book a cover would be design that spreads from book to book. A system of swirls, leaves and flowers would all tie together. It would be created using a single line drawing printed on a shear paper as if the innocence of each woman is portrayed while the underlying secret is hidden just below the surface. Each book would have a splash of color that is unique. The title of the book would be a block form that could be cut out to expose the collage behind the cover.
